and his next demands are even more frighteningwritten by Cody Fenwick February 15, 2019
Fox News host Sean Hannity published an op-ed on Wednesday laying out exactly how he thought President Donald Trump, to whom he serves as an informal adviser, should move forward with congressional border security negotiations:
Step one: The president signs the deal, and uses the $1.375 billion as a downpayment for the wall. Step two: President Trump has identified some $900 million for additional construction that is already available for the administrations discretion. That would bring the pot to about $2.3 billion. Step three: This needs to happen simultaneously, and it has the president declaring a national emergency. This is the time.
And on Friday, Trump followed the instructions obediently, suggesting Hannitys influence over the White House could be near-absolute.
In light of that fact, Hannitys other recent demands are even more terrifying than Trumps national emergency gambit, which is likely to fail.
As Media Matters for America documented Friday, another of the Fox News hosts major priorities for the newly confirmed attorney general, William Barr, is the prosecution of Trumps enemies.

This is just fucking great. The de facto leader of this country is Sean Hannity. And I thought Dick Cheney was bad. We are well and truly fucked.

He was Cohen's client after all and Cohen had only three clients.

(2,747 posts)3. Who says he doesn't?
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Mueller has info on the lot of them.

(51,611 posts)4. I hope he is going that deep.
Why isn't Hannity worried about this? You would think he'd try to lay low.

(51,611 posts)6. I wasn't aware of that.
That definitely puts him on "the list" of Mueller's team to focus on.
